That GOV. McEnery has been a
sgood working Democrat no one will
deny; nor will any one deny that he
has been amply rewarded. He now
comes before the people asking to be
continued even third time in Office
Third -termism, in the executive, has
been more than once repudiated by
the people as contrary to the policy
asnd traditions of our form of govern
meht. The precedent against it was
established by Washington, and ap-
proved and commended by Thomas
Jefferson, the father Of the Demo-
cratic party. It is precedent it
wosld be dangerous to break down.
Governments crurable through the
aassitude of their people In allowing
one safeguard of liberty after another
TO be over ridden. The present adj
snihistration is altogether too per-
;sonal to be true reflex of popular
government government ''of the
people, for the people, by the peo
pie" How often has the voice of
the people been hushed by the whis,
per of some one near the throne? A
close and faithful adherence to friends
Hs virtue admired of all, but not to
be exercised in defiance of popular
will, and in derogation of 8 public
trust.

Timber Culture Entries.

Washington, Special Telegram, Sep. D.
The secretary OF the interlorto'day renool'
ed the following decision: -,
Aug. l, 1884, James Spencer presented
timber culture application for quarter
section IA, township 3, range %, herwln
(kan.) land district, Offering at the same
time the usual fees and commissions. Inc
application was rejected by the local. "liCeIs
because the survey shows timber on the
section. By the decision OF May y
1885. your office affirmed the re-
lection. An appeal brings the case mere.
1t is shown by the record that three
Iorties OF this section are entirely devoid
Of timber. On the northwest quarter Is a
rayine where there is timber scattered over
about one acre and distributed as follows:
From actual cyunt there are fifty scrubDy
elm and cottonwood trees in SAID section,
averaging about twenty inches in diane
ter; twenty that will average o twelve
inches, and twelve that will average about
eight inches. The tallest OF said trees IS
not over fifty feet high. The timber cul'
ture law requires the ontrymRn before
making entry to make an affidavit, anon
other things, that the section speclll-
ed is composed C. prairie lands, en-
tirely devoid OF timber. Under the law
this section cannot be considered devoid
of timber. | am aware that under former
rulings OF this department the application
of Spencer could have been allowed. In
the case Of Blenkner VS.. Sloggy, the entry
was allowed, although there were on the sec
ton 300 trees OF natural growth, varying in
diameter from eight inches to " feet,
scattered over from five to eight acres.
The rule in Blenkner vs.. Sloggy was toI-
lowed in the subsequent cases OF BaN VS..
Hulsteen; the latter case OF Bartch VS..
Kennedy, adhered to on Il review March
80, 1885, and others. | do not, however
consider the former ruling in harmony with
the statute and must decline to olio 1t.
The case Of Blenkner VS.. Sloggy and others,
following the rule therin, in SO far as they
conflict with the views herein stated, are
overruled. The decision appealed from is
affirmed.

The Railway Age says that it now
seems probable that the number Of
miles of new road constructed in the
United States during 1887 will be
about 10000. This figure is the
greatest on record. 1t has never been
approached, except in 1882, when the
total was II, 568 miles. Track for
1887 up to Sept. l aggregates GAGE
miles. Kansas still continues far in
the lead over the states in the work OF
railroad construction.

The disposition ofthe average jailor
to temper justice with mercy is not
quite so abnormally developed as in
the cas Of the warden of an Indiana
penitentiary, who allowed a convict,
sentenced to three years imprison-
ment for robbing his country oil $780,
600, to drive about town in his buggy
go into %barrooms, smoke cigars with
his friends, and practically enjoy life
as much as if he we're a free and hon
orable citizen. Yet if the truth were
got at no doubt it would be seen that
this easy-going mercy is much more
common than is thought to be, espec-
tally in county jails and other places

Gen. Hugh j. Campbell Fires the Opening

Dakota.
MmBANK, Oak, Special, Sept 6.-Gen.
Hugh ]. Campbell opened the division cam
paign for South Dakota to-day in an eloquent
speech before a large Ind enthusiastic
audience in the opera house.
The speaker gave a sketch Of Dakota's long
struggle for statehood and OF the admission of
all other territories. Dakota had been a terri
tory for thirty Years. The average time for
which aterritory has been held as such was seven
years. Figures were given showing the amount
OF taxes paid by Dakota, and various reasons
presented why the territory should iofn the
Union. He mentioned Dakota's area and other
statistical information. The situation under
territorial government was very bad and cons
tlnually rowtn worse. What can we do2
Flrst--We can, by a large and overwhelming
vote at the polls, settle this question finally
among yourselves. So that hereafter, whatever
IL nay e distinctly ard .s..ssaittrv .sSasr-
stood as the be all and end all" Of the matter
that the people Of Dakota will not consent TO be
dragged into the Union as one state; that they
will continue this fight until the time comes
when they win, through their constitnffonaI
convention, have the lawful decision of it in
their hands. We will also, by such a vote, hush
that small, noisYtfaction who are continually
shouting. tsat the people do not want division.
6econd-We shall find out the true friends Of
division in North Dakota.
Thlrd-We can shut the mouths Of such mon
as Springer Vest aud Randall, who keep saying
that they do not know what the people Of Da-
kota want.
Fourth-We will be able by a good vote to en-
tighten the president with some information
upon the subject which he greatly needs.
